RECOMMENDED: Format the data storage unit before doing any recording to ensure that it is in the correct file system format and that there is enough data space for recording. WARNING: Ensure that no valuable information is currently stored in the connected data storage unit, as the formatting process means that ALL DATA will be ERASED.
